The day will also allow Peter and Sue to sample the college experience of its 800 apprentices and how that might be improved.

Peter said: “I am looking forward to taking part in the job switch day – who knows, it might even lead to some opportunities in the motor vehicle trade for me!

“I think it is important for me and other members of staff to step into the shoes of our apprentices for the day. It helps us to see what things we are doing right and also keep an eye out for anything that we feel could improve their experience here.

Peter Brammall and Sue Noyes of Coventry College, who are set to job swap with apprentices for the day.

“It is all about learning, as well as showing our support to apprentices and recognising the value they have in the business world.

“Giving apprentices the best chance of success and ensure they are on the right path going forward is something that everyone agrees is a priority and it is something we are proud to be able to do.”

Coventry College offers an ever-expanding programme of more than 70 different apprenticeships, ranging from recruitment to painting and decorating, and deals with around 700 companies in the local area.

Coventry College will be hosting an apprenticeship drop-in session at its City Campus from 1pm to 2pm on Tuesday, March 6 and during the same time on Thursday, March 8 at its Henley Campus.

A Primary Goal Digital Workshop will also be held at City Campus on Wednesday, March 7 from 10am to 1pm, with an apprentice recruitment fair being held at the Henley Campus on March 9 from 10am to 1pm.

Sue Noyes added: “Our apprentices are going to be getting a great insight into our work and we are excited to learn more about their work.

“I think it is a great thing for Coventry College to be taking part in and I look forward to meeting my fellow apprentices on the day – and developing a skill which is certainly new to me!”
